Delete Auto Splits

Hi All

is it possible to delete auto splits, leaving just the manual ones ?

reason is, I did a long interval session last night, 1.2km hard / 0.45km easy. No issues at all with the 0.4's, but because I had "Auto-split" turned on, the 1.2k's have been split into 1k auto recorded plus final 200m up to where I hit the split button

So I just need to delete all the auto split 1km marketrs (ie split 1, 3, 6 etc below), surely that's possible !

Many thanks

to be clear - Lap 1 should show as 1.02k, lap 2 should be 1.19k, lap 3 - 0.45k, lap 4 - 1.19k etc

You have to disable the option auto-laps on the watch before you start the activity. At an existing activity you can remove laps only if you export it to a file, edit it, and then import back.

Depends on the file format you have chosen. If it is a TCX or GPX file format, then you have to parse the document in a text editor, searching for blocks containing the Laps, and removing those you do not wish to have there.

In the TCX files, Laps are enclosed in the tags <Lap>...</Lap>, so it is fairly easy to search and delete them.

If it is a FIT file format, then you need a tool capable of editing FIT files - such as the Fit File Repair Tool.

Thanks again !

Do I just delete just the highlighted section below and then add the deleted 18secs and 20.45m to the previous lap ?

(I only want to remove the incorrect lap end point, not the whole lap!

You probably deleted half of a tag pair. Generally text files with <Something> followed by a bunch of other items and then a </Something> form a pair. When you delete something in one of the files, you need to delete both the beginning tag (the one without the /) and the ending tag (the one with the /). This syntax dates back to the early days of html, and maybe even longer.

Hopefully you saved the original file.

the finished result ! (lap 1 was warmup, hence different length)
